Windows Media player 11 not filling HDTV screen no matter what I play.

On any video that is wide screen Windows Media Player 11 full screen is FAR from FULL. I use a 37 inch LCD TV and full screen has about 5 inches of black on either side as well as a ton of black on top and bottom.... Doesn't even fill half of my panel.

There are only 2 things that I noticed under tools --> options after right clicking in the menu bar area
go to devices --> display(s) --> properties and you can alter it there also if you go to performance

Was afraid that was going to be the only solution. The Pixel Aspect in WMP11 didn't make any difference what so ever... Hopefully Microsoft will add 16:9 and 16:10 support to the next version... always behind the ball they are. Yeah VLC and Power DVD both work perfect in full screen. Now I just got to decide which to set as default.

If anyone has a work around for 16:9 full screen in Windows Media Player 11 please let me know.

Poor audio quality is one of the top reasons people don’t use video conferencing. Get the crispest, clearest audio powered by Dolby Voice in every meeting. Highfive and Dolby Voice deliver the best video conferencing and audio experience for every meeting and every room.

Does the same thing on widescreen DVD's and Video files. It did fill the screen for a 16:10 video file... Guess since 16:10 is standard for widescreen computing, WMP is thrown off by my 16:9 HDTV. Odd but not worth the time since VLC works perfect. But I'll let you know if the Full Screen Mode Switch works, I don't think I noticed that option.

I have been fiddling with (oops, I mean evaluating) media players for over a year now. I purchased a D-Link DSM-520 about a year ago and was pleased with how many file formats It could play, but I found the user interface to be on the clunky side. …
